A member asked:

Can a gynecologist feel a tumor or cancer when using hand for pelvic exam?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Cynthia Frazier answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Sometimes: Yes, pelvic tumors can often be felt on routine pelvic exams. Many times they are too small to feel but tenderness on the exam or the patients history prompts the physician to order an ultrasound.
